l ATTE 2 i' esame the spikes Fso the ,roller so supplied islarf ranged in advance with referenee to the line pins D pass the beaters, the forward ends of tively operated in order that the operatingthe latter are forcibly depressed by the retractors onto the carpet, beating the'dnst ont of same. I arrange the pins D of the several disks so that 'the beaters K will be eonseeastrain on the shaft C may be distributed throughout its revolution, but-particularly so that the carpet .will be continually subjected to the action of one or the other or' the beaters. I prefer to employ the pins D on the disks, because by such arrangement I amable to Operate the beaters a number of times by' each revolutiony of the shaft.' These pins form simply crank projections, and may, when de sired, be substituted by arms or bars projected radially at proper intervals from the shaft C; ortho said shalt might be formed with a anni ber of cranks, each arranged to operate one of u the beaters; or various other expedients could he arranged to aetuatev the actions oi' the It will be understood that the shaft C might he dispensed with,and the beaters be projected sufficiently far' in rear of their pivots to serve as handles and be depressed by the hands of the operator; out I prefer to use said shaft.

vor in other suitable manner, as will be obvious. It Will be understood, however, that, where so desired, the earpetsupports may be employed without the radial spikes, and may not be automatically operated, in which case it will. be necessary to move the carpet at `proper' intervals by hand. in sneh use the rollers would aeilitate the movement so oi' the carpet, as will understood.

l prefer injpraetiee connect the retraetors M to the framing by means of screws lli having thumb-screws lli?, sa the resistanee o the springs may be varied accor aeter of work or the tondi being oleaned.

Haring thas described my invention, @hat eiaim, and desirefto secure by Letters Bat-- ent, is-

i. in a carpet-beater, 'the earpetlsupgiort herein described, consisting of two parallel rollers jonrnaled in suitable supports and coi-neidently grooved and provided with radial ing tothe sha1" in of the carpets "spikes or pins between the grooves, and a se- 65 ries oi' bel-ts connecting said rollers, and seated, in the grooves', as and for the purposes speeified. v l' 2. In a carpetvbeater, the combination of the rollers F F, provided with spikes F', relis 3ro' Gf, running around andyjoining said rollers, the beaters, means, substantially as described, for operating said beaters, and suitable gear ing connecting one ol" said rollers F and the v beater-operatino,` devices, whereby the earpet` may he fed forward as the beaters are operated, substantie-Hy asset forth.
